The annual US-based CareerCast research determined the average salary of an event coordinator to be $46,840 (£32,953) and gave the job a stress score of 51.15. In comparison, a military job was given a score of 72.74.

The least stressful job – a diagnostic medical sonographer – was given a stress score of four.

The company determined the numbers by analysing 11 stress factors: travel, deadlines, working in the public eye, competitiveness, physical demands, environmental conditions, hazards encountered, the life of oneself or others at risk, meeting and interacting with customers and/or the public, and the potential for job growth.
